Denim Dazed

The Aberdeen christmas market this year has seriously upped it's game, with some show rides for both children and adults, two different bars where you can buy festive drinks, loads of stalls with hand made gifts and sweet treats, stalls filled with food to warm you up including bratwurst sausages, burgers, crepes and so many more delicious treats! The market also has a cute little ice rink, set in amongst the trees lit up with fairy lights, although small it is very adorable.

Mum was dressed extremely appropriately for the weather, with her thick Barbour coat, hat and scarf she was super toasty for walking around the market. She also looked like she was in the festive spirit as her coat is red, so she fitted in very well with all the stalls and decorations. Her boots are also very on trend and were perfect for all the walking we were doing, as they are flat. They will also keep her feet extra warm, since they are so long.

When me and Louisa visited the Christmas market, it was in the middle of the day so it didn't really have the same atmosphere, but it was still just as cold! However, Louisa still looked very wintery, dressed with her fur coat that channelled some Sarah Jessica Parker vibes. Her colourful top added some colour to the look to brighten up the black and the sparkle on the top just highlighted how Christmassy her outfit was. Finally, the hat has a nice touch as the gems went really well with the sparkly top.

For this trip to the Christmas market I decided to dress a bit more casually, so naturally went for my Superstars (what other trainers would I wear?). I also decided to wear my dads old Levi jacket as I thought it gave my outfit a really cool vibe. Although the big scarf makes the outfit seem wintery, it is definitely not very Christmassy, but I decided that's okay since I already went Christmassy on my first market trip.


So whether it's Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh or even London, you have to go to at least one Christmas market this December, and if you don't how can you even get in the Christmas spirit?

When we were in Amsterdam we did the typical tourist things. We visited the Van Gogh museum, the Anne Frank museum, three different sex museums (it is Amsterdam afterall), the Extra Ice Bar and the Red Light District. We also went on a cycle around Vondelpark and did A LOT of walking. 

Amy has added a denim jacket to her outfit, which gives her outfit a creative edge. The backpack is very practical for the trip as it doesn't feel as heavy lugging this around all day, the bag has a hipster vibe which adds to the creative edge of Amy's outfit. Overall she definitely fits in with Amsterdam's street style.

Both the coat and the trainers have already featured on a previous blog post, so as you know are very practical items and perfect for a walk around the lake in Duns. I also threw on a pair of mom jeans, as they are comfy, which makes for the perfect pair of jeans for a walk. I also wore a long sleeved top as it was VERY cold, I should have copied Sarah and wore some gloves!

Hello and welcome to my first post on Denim Dazed, this is the first entry in my ten post series which will look at street style in 10 different cities. As you can see from the title, Aberdeen is the first city I will be looking at. I decided to start with Aberdeen as this is where I both live and study, so thought it made perfect sense!
